these odds demonstrate improbability that intelligent life arouse on

Have you studied and verified his calculations? His methodology?

I certainly mistrust this result from 30+ years ago as we now have much more information on how many planets there may be in the universe.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

RE: Abiogenesis is impossible
What an incredibly presumptuous assertion this thread's title makes. Who in the world could possibly be in a position to know whether or not abiogenesis is impossible? Science can not show that. We're sure not going to buy any modern apologist's interpretations of the ramblings some ancient goatherds as evidence. Poppycock.

God is revealed thru nature and revelation; God's attributes and identity are not discovered by the 5 senses since He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere-present --- "whom no one has seen or can see".

1. Allah is revealed thru nature and revelation; Allah's attributes and identity are not discovered by the 5 senses since He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere-present --- "whom no one has seen or can see".

2. FSM is revealed thru nature and revelation; the FSM's attributes and identity are not discovered by the 5 senses since He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-noodly, and everywhere-present --- "whom no one has seen or can see".

When you can tell me why you don't believe 1 & 2 then you'll have a good idea as to why we regard what you just said as a giant heap of bollocks.

Given these attributes, would you say "God exists in the minds of his followers to understand God's universe" is accurate?

Great, so since god isn't revealed through the five senses, you've eliminated the only possible methods of detection you have with which to know he's there at all, and are therefore in possession of an unjustified belief. Dodgy

So, this universe that couldn't have happened on it's own and must have been created by a deity because it is so fine tuned for life.....
...can't generate, life.
